in reply to Change Binary File

It's rarely a question of just substituting one string for another in "binary" files. There are usually offsets and/or size information that needs to be updated as well, depending on the type of file. However, it's usually possible if both strings are of the same length.

    The strings don't have the same size. My OS is WinXP. Thanks

      What kind of file are you trying to edit? If it's an executable (.exe, .dll), you're out of luck.
